Spanish summer wine and beer festivals

Overview

In early August 2026 Spain opened its summer festival season with the XIX Monterrei Wine Fair in Verín, Galicia. The three‑day event featured guided tastings, showcooking sessions and a live concert that paired local wines with a menu celebrating the region’s culinary heritage. Later in the month, the focus shifted to craft beer as Astorga in León hosted its inaugural Feria de la Cerveza Artesanal, showcasing five independent breweries and a grape‑based brew, while Zaragoza’s Birragoza 2026 returned to the Plaza de San Agustín with up to 16 breweries offering more than 150 beers, free admission and optional tickets for a commemorative glass and guided tastings. Together, these events illustrate a coordinated rollout of beverage‑focused cultural programmes across multiple Spanish cities throughout August 2026.
